AN: I'd like to know who you'd like to see in this story. Personally I miss Anna a lot! Should I bring her in? Also, I apologise for my English. I'm not a native speaker, so if you find flaws I'm sorry. Hope you enjoy.


"Come on…." Elena was trying really hard to make her brain work for just a few more minutes, but the noise in the classroom made it pretty much impossible.

"Okay everyone, let's call it a day. Remember to read for Monday!"

"Yeah right…" Bonnie said to the two other girls, as people went out the door.

"Seriously? You have to read!" Elena looked at Bonnie like she was insane.

"Sure, but this? I didn't even get the first three words, how am I supposed to read a whole chapter?"

"French is not that bad. You have to at least try."

"Okay! Now, can we talk about tonight?" Caroline had been excited all day.

"Relax Caroline, it's just a party." Elena laughed at her party-craving friend.

"Nah, not just a party. It's THE party!" Tyler looked at Caroline just before he went out the door. "Can't wait to see you there." He said with a smirk.

The color in Caroline's cheeks suddenly changed.


"Hey Jenna! We're here!"

"Hey girls! And Caroline! It's so nice to finally meet you."

Caroline had just walked inside when Jenna hugged her.

"Oh. Hi. Uhm, nice to meet you too Miss…"

"No way, I'm Jenna. Forget the Miss. Please, it makes me feel so old."

Elena laughed. "Come on, let's go upstairs."

"You have fun. I'll get the pizzas soon. Have you heard from Jeremy?"

The girls looked at each other.

"No." Elena said and looked worried.

"Hmm. He'll probably show up soon" Jenna said and smiled. "Come on girls, you have a lot of hair to do!"


"Pizza's here!" Jenna yelled.

"I'm starving!" Bonnie said and hurried down the stairs with the two other girls after her. They had curled their hair and Bonnie was now wearing a green dress. Elena had black jeans and a dark blue top on while Caroline was wearing a short red dress.

"Wow! You're beautiful!" Jenna said and followed the girls to the kitchen.

While they ate in the kitchen Jenna looked at Elena. "Ready for the Aunt-talk?"

Elena smiled. "Sure. Bring it on."

"Okay. Don't get too drunk, stay together and if you absolutely have to have sex, please use a condom?"

"Oh my God Jenna! Thanks, but you really don't have to worry."

Bonnie and Caroline started to laugh, and soon after Elena and Jenna joined them. They stopped immediately when Jeremy walked in with a black eye and blood on his shirt.

"Jeremy!" Elena ran to him. "What happened?"

Jenna took his hand and looked at his bloody knuckles. "Who did this?"

Jeremy looked to the floor. "They were going to beat him up. I had to do something." He mumbled.

Elena touched his hair in a loving way.

"Who Jeremy?"

He looked at her and laughed without humor. "What does it matter? I'm fine, just have to wash up." He ran up the stairs and smacked the door.

Jenna looked to the girls confused. "You should probably get going. It's late. I'll take care of him."

Elena looked sad. "Hey, we can stay here if you want?" Caroline put an arm around Elena. She looked at her aunt.

"It's okay Elena. Go have fun, I'll talk to him when he's calmed down."

Elena nodded and took her purse being used to seeing Jeremy in trouble.


The Lockwood mansion was normally a very quiet place. Mr. Lockwood was the school principal and also Tyler's dad. When the girls arrived it was quite obvious a party was going on. First of all they could hear the music from far away. Then there was the loud talking and drunk guys out front. And on top of that the almost naked girl running past them laughing with two guys after her.

"Are you sure we should do this?" Bonnie asked.

"Absolutely." said Caroline and walked right up to the doors. She smiled at the guys and walked inside with Bonnie and Elena trying to keep up with her. Inside the music was even louder, she could feel the bass as she walked around trying to find something to drink.

"Hey! You came!" Tyler waved to her with a beer in his hand. Caroline smiled while Elena had started talking with Stefan. Bonnie looked like she would much rather have stayed at home.

A few hours later a lot had changed. Bonnie was now sitting between Stefan's older brother Damon, who had his tongue down a blond girl's throat, and Matt who was staring at Elena looking sad. Stefan had finally asked her to dance with him, and he seemed to not want to let her go any time soon. Caroline was dancing with Tyler, who tried to make his way up the stairs with her, but every time he got close, she would turn them around.

"We should go up and talk instead." he whispered to her. Caroline shook her head. "No… I promised Elena and Bonnie I'd stay close." Tyler looked a little frustrated but smiled a crooked smile. "They'll be fine. Come on…" He took her hand and tried to tug her towards the stairs. Suddenly there was shouting and people cheering. Two guys were fighting on the floor with glass splinters all over.

"Caroline!" Bonnie was holding her other hand. "We have to go, remember? We promised Jenna to bring Elena back." Caroline looked at Bonnie confused. "What?" Bonnie sighed. "Remember?" she tried again looking at Caroline intently. "Oh! Yeah, I totally forgot! Sorry Tyler, I have to go. Thanks for inviting us." He looked at her disappointed before he went over to the guys on the floor and started cheering.

Bonnie managed to grab Elena on the way out while Stefan went to the kitchen. "What's going on Bonnie?" Elena was on a happy cloud. "I just have a feeling. Let's go." They started walking away from the Mansion when they heard the sound of sirens. Shortly after two police cars drove past them only to stop at the doors before two officers went inside.

"Wow. Thanks Bonnie." Caroline said looking nervous.

"What about Stefan?" Elena said about to go back.

"He'll be fine he didn't have anything to do with it. Come on. Let's go home."

Caroline hugged them both. "I'll just go through the park. It's a detour for you guys."

"Are you sure?" Elena asked.

"Absolutely. I'm a strong woman!" she said pretending to be a ninja.

"Oookay Caroline, go home! But message me when you're home safe."

"Okay" She waved to the girls as they walked around the corner. On her way home she suddenly felt alone. It was really dark in the park and she could hear voices from two men standing further ahead of her. She would have to walk past them to go home, so she tried walking faster.

"Hey gorgeous! Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Yeah, come say hello!"

She ignored them and just walked on when one of them grabbed her arm.

"Hey! I asked you something. It's not polite to ignore a question!"

"It's also not polite to grab a girl like that." An angry voice said.

Caroline looked behind her to see a guy with curly hair look at the man grabbing her arm like he wanted to rib his throat out.

"Hey man, relax. It's just for fun."

Klaus walked close to Caroline and put an arm around her. "I don't see her laughing." Without any words he pulled her with him back to the dirt path and walked away from the men. When they were outside the park he stopped and pulled his arm away to take her hand instead. "Are you okay?"

She looked at him shocked and nodded. "Thank you…"

"You should go home. This is not a safe place at night." He let go of her hand and looked away.

She looked at him for the first time in the light from a streetlamp and saw blood on his shirt. She reached out a hand to touch it but he cringed back.

"What happened?" she asked worried and looked at him.

"Nothing. Go home Caroline. Please be more careful." He looked at her with a sudden anger that made her take a step back. He walked past her in a hurry and rounded the corner. She ran the rest of the way home and locked the door.

When she got to her room she took her phone and wrote to Elena. *I'm home safe. Night* As she pressed send she realized she would have to thank Klaus for that. As she took off her dress she noticed the small amount of blood on it where Klaus had held her and shuddered wondering if it was his own blood or someone else's.
